Title: Open
Source/Linux evolution
Abstract:
The open source concept has become very popular in recent
years, both in academic circles and in the software industry. Many
organizations, developers and companies participate in open source projects and
in defining/developing open source applications.
This study investigates the historical impacts and the
implications on the open source domain, while focusing on a specific use case:
The Linux Operating System development project.
In the lecture I will present historical findings showing
some of the open source development concepts that were analyzed in the study
(e.g.: Linux). Furthermore, we will discuss current open source development
model while I offer some new observations.
The talk is based on Oded's PhD thesis, recently approved
by Tel Aviv University.
